This is not what anyone means when they talk about wealth transfers. Yes rent is a huge issue on its own eat the new feudal lords and all that but the problem of people using their wages and salaries funded by taxpayers to pay for things they we're paying for already is something totally different than inflation devaluing dollars, which is the primary asset held by low-middle income people, plus wholesale transfering it via bailouts to the already wealthy.

If the gov't took money from taxpayers to give to companies to pay worker salaries to pay rent and you squint a bit that's just workers paying rent semi-collectively which on a macro scale is like... fine. Not good. But fine.
